The VOLUNTARY UNION of states was NEVER INTENDED to be a Union that a state could not get out of if they thought their interests were not being met. Secession was a RIGHT of each and every state and every Founding Father believed in the rights of the states to leave the VOLUNTARY UNION if they so wished. This is documented, historical fact! Jefferson would have rolled over his grave if he had known a two-bit railroad lawyer, with hardly any education whatsover, started a damn war to FORCE the states to stay in a VOLUNTARY UNION. Lincoln destroyed the country that our Founding Fathers fought and died for. Anyone with a basic understanding of American history and a knowledge of the founding documents knows that Lincoln was a tyrant, a big government socialist, who consolidated ALL POWER in Washington, DC, something the Founding Fathers fought so hard to prevent from ever happening.
Really? Well then, show me where in the U.S.Conatitution secession is mentioned.
And that was well over a hundred years ago and the union is what we live in now. We are not living in the 1860s. Rant and rave all you want but that is the reality and you benefit from it each and every day
